Melon, apple. Pear. Classic Butter popcorn. Some very slight grassiness or herb. Vanilla ramps up on the finish. Complex, strong, and perfectly oaked. Lots of soul here.

Hellooooo, summer! Peach, citrus and touch of vanilla on the nose. Chewy but smooth, with lots of stone fruit and caramel finish. Comes alive at slightly higher temps than the usual deep chill whites are served at. Califonia chardonnays often feel like they're phoned in, but this is like watching a great figure skater, landing jump after jump to an unexpected, lively song.

Cresta Ridge chard. Maybe a little too toasty and buttery but still enjoyable.
